ARA GAV Ebenfurth Pottendorf BN Wastewater Treatment Plant, Landegg, Austria

ARA GAV Ebenfurth Pottendorf BN is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Landegg, within the Pottendorf district of Niederösterreich, Austria. The plant serves a population of approximately 9,277 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Austrian and EU regulations. As an Austrian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates tertiary treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treatment process and capacity details are not publicly available, but it is expected to meet the regulatory standards for its population equivalent. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of downstream aquatic environments.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Danube River basin, which flows through Central and Eastern Europe before reaching the Black Sea. The surrounding region includes agricultural and natural areas, and the plant helps prevent nutrient pollution that could lead to eutrophication in downstream water bodies. The Danube basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor.
